Pros

Coworkers were friendly and dedicated. Benefits were very good. The company culture was very comfortable for many years, and therefore employee retention was high.

Cons

Downsizings that began in 2008 and accelerated in 2010-2011 have really sapped morale. IT resources, which used to be pretty good, have been cut far too much, which reduces productivity. Some managers are technically strong, but are very weak leaders. Employees who are stuck under those managers are just trapped in their careers.

Pros

Stable work - buses on the road every day, so tire service tends to be more predictable than some other retail work. Mechanical experience - You'll gain experience with heavy-duty vehicles, commercial tires, fleet operations, safety procedures, and potentially CDL-related skills. Physically demanding - Frequent lifting of tires, pushing heavy equipment, bending, kneeling, and working around large vehicles are regular parts of the job.

Cons

Repetitive labor - Much of the work involves mounting, balancing, and repairing large tires repeatedly throughout a shift. Safety risks - Working with heavy commercial tires and transit vehicles requires strict adherence to safety procedures and PPE requirements.
